Comments
This shapely and well-made ovoid- or baluster-shaped jar has a molding around the base, lug handles on opposing sides, two neatly incised lines at the base of the neck and a flat, even rim. A "3" stamped into the neck identifies the 3 gallon capacity of the jar.
The jar has a band of six deep blue leafy motifs encircling the widest diameter of the body.
